The Fortin & Capigliolo Tower hiking trail
The path is visible, but not marked. It is an easy route on sandy ground, which allows you to reach the remains of the fortress anchored on a strangely shaped rocky mass and the Capigliolo tower, which rises to an altitude of 91m. The Genoese tower was once used to prevent Barbary attacks. A beautiful panorama on the beach of Liamone, the Gulf of Liscia.
